I moved my knight out, ready to castle, but I didn't notice my f3 pawn was completely defenseless.

11... Qxf3
I failed to see that coming, thus castling was no longer an option at this time. Along with that, I'm a piece behind now.

 
12. Rf1
I needed to save my rook.

 
12... Qe3
With his queen deep in my territory, I needed to be careful.

This didn't help as much.

Usually I make another move and let my opponent attack my pawn on their next turn.
